Top Ryan Leonard News

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Deals pair of helpers

    Leonard logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

    Leonard saw a four-game point streak end versus the Stars on Wednesday, but he bounced back with helpers on goals by Connor McMichael and Justin Sourdif in this contest. The 20-year-old Leonard continues to improve as he gains more trust with the Capitals' coaching staff. The rookie winger is up to 27 points (seven on the power play), 77 shots on net, 51 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 38 appearances. As long as he keeps seeing middle-six minutes and power-play time, he has the tools to help most fantasy teams.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Two-point effort against Ducks

    Leonard scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 7-4 win over Anaheim.

    Both points came in the second period, as Leonard potted Washington's third goal before having a hand in Justin Sourdif's third of the night. Leonard has gotten onto the scoresheet in four straight games, and over seven contests since returning from a shoulder injury, he's picked up two goals and seven points while skating on the Caps' second line at even strength and first power-play unit.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Forces overtime Saturday

    Leonard scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.

    Leonard has earned a goal and four assists over six games since he returned from a shoulder injury. The 20-year-old could get a boost in usage if Tom Wilson (lower body) or Aliaksei Protas (lower body) miss any additional time. Leonard is up to eight goals, 23 points, 72 shots on net, 48 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 35 appearances, mainly in a third-line role. He's fourth among rookies in points, trailing Ivan Demidov (35), Beckett Sennecke (31) and Matthew Schaefer (28).

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Back from injury with big bang

    Leonard picked up two assists Tuesday in a 7-3 loss to the Rangers.

    It was his first game back after missing seven with facial and upper-body injuries. Leonard had started to flash greatness right before he got hurt -- he had a four-point effort the game before he got hurt and seven points, including five assists, in a four-game streak. Leonard is an impressive rookie this season -- his 0.67 points/games played is third behind only Ivan Demidov (0.81) and Beckett Sennecke (0.76) on the rookie scoring list.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Removed from IR

    Leonard (shoulder) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

    Following a seven-game absence, Leonard is poised to return to the lineup against the Rangers on Tuesday. He has picked up seven goals, 18 points, 61 shots on net and 43 hits across 29 appearances this season.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Considered day-to-day

    Leonard (shoulder) is day-to-day, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post on Saturday.

    Leonard will miss his sixth consecutive game against Detroit on Saturday, but he has been progressing. However, it remains unclear if he will return before the Christmas break. He has accounted for seven goals, 18 points, 61 shots on net and 43 hits across 29 appearances this season.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Out 3-4 weeks

    The Capitals announced Thursday that Leonard (shoulder) should miss 3-4 weeks.

    Leonard absorbed a huge hit, courtesy of Jacob Trouba on Dec. 5 in Anaheim. Leonard has seven goals and 11 assists across 29 contests this season.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Shifts to IR

    Leonard (upper body) was moved to injured reserve Sunday.

    Washington recalled Bogdan Trineyev from AHL Hershey in a corresponding move. Leonard will be out for an extended period of time, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. Leonard has contributed seven goals, 18 points, 61 shots on net and 43 hits across 29 appearances this season.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Not available for Sunday

    Leonard (upper body) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt against Columbus, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports Saturday.

    Leonard absorbed a big hit from Jacob Trouba in the first period Friday and did not return. Head coach Spencer Carbery said after the game that Leonard was going to be out, but he did not provide a timeline for his return. Leonard has seven goals and 18 points in 29 games, including two goals and five helpers in four games before the injury. Sonny Milano could draw into the lineup Sunday in place of Leonard.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Sustains upper-body injury

    Leonard (upper body) won't finish Friday's game versus the Ducks.

    Leonard was rocked on a heavy hit by Jacob Trouba in the first period and was unable to return from it. Losing Leonard for any length of time could be troublesome for the Capitals' depth, as he was rounding into form with eight points over six games prior to Friday. Sonny Milano is the extra forward on the roster, but the Capitals could dip into their depth at AHL Hershey if Leonard ends up missing an extended length of time.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Racks up four points in blowout win

    Leonard scored twice on six shots, added two assists, logged two hits and went plus-3 in Wednesdays' 7-1 win over the Sharks.

    Leonard was involved in four of the Capitals' last five goals. He had gone seven games without scoring, though he had four assists in five outings before the best game of his young career Wednesday. Overall, the 20-year-old rookie is up to seven goals, 18 points, 60 shots on net, 43 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-7 rating across 28 appearances. That kind of production should have a home in most fantasy formats.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Lights lamp twice Wednesday

    Leonard scored two goals in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Oilers.

    The rookie winger delivered his first career multi-point performance in his 29th NHL game, getting pucks past Stuart Skinner in the first and second periods. Leonard, the eighth overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, snapped a 12-game goal drought with the effort, but he's stayed fairly productive overall in his first full season at the top level, and over the last 15 contests he's churned out four goals and nine points.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Pots goal in Tuesday's win

    Leonard scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

    Leonard has scored in back-to-back games. He saw just 10:22 of ice time Tuesday, but he's been reliably in a third-line role to begin the campaign. The 20-year-old winger has plenty of scoring potential, and an injury to a top-six winger could give him the opportunity to log more minutes. He's produced three goals, 16 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-3 rating through seven contests to start 2025-26.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Buries second goal

    Leonard scored a power-play goal on three shots and delivered four hits during his 14:04 of ice time in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

    The rookie buried his second goal of the season on the power play Sunday, kickstarting a crazy Capitals comeback attempt that came up just a goal short. Leonard is averaging just 12:24 of ice time so far this season, but that includes time on the team's second power play unit. Washington sports a deep group of forwards that may make it tough to find a promotion to the top six anytime soon, despite the 20-year-old's promising talent.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Finds twine Saturday

    Leonard netted a goal and had three hits in Saturday's 4-2 win against the Islanders.

    Leonard's first goal of the season came midway through the second period off a feed from defenseman Jakob Chychrun. The 20-year-old Leonard is up to two goals in 11 career regular-season games. He is currently in a third-line role on the right wing but has seen a solid chunk of power-play time as a part of the second unit. His five-on-five ice time is a current limitation for his fantasy ceiling, as he saw just 10:01 Saturday. Leonard is best as a future-oriented stash in keeper formats for the time being, with the potential to carve out a larger role by the end of this season.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Earns first playoff point

    Leonard provided an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Canadiens in Game 2.

    Leonard has stayed in the Capitals' lineup since April 1 after signing his entry-level deal a day earlier. The 20-year-old is in a bottom-six role during the playoffs, though he's also involved on the power play. He has a helper, four shots, three hits and a plus-1 rating through two playoff outings. While he has a bright future ahead, his role is likely to be limited this postseason as he continues to adjust to the NHL.

  • Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Deposits first goal into empty net

    Leonard scored an empty-net goal on four shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

    It took Leonard just three games to put his name on an NHL scoresheet, and he did so in the same contest that Alex Ovechkin tied Wayne Gretzky for the all-time goals record. It'll be a memorable moment for Leonard, who has slotted right into a middle-six role while racking up five shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating over three appearances. The eighth overall pick from 2023 has tremendous scoring upside, but fantasy managers in redraft formats may want to wait until 2025-26 to take a gamble on him.
